Dear Audrey,

Your boyfriend sounds exactly like mine. Are you still with him? I’ve been with my boyfriend for 3 years. He’s been repeatedly making the exact same mistakes you mentioned no matter how much I’ve told him how much it hurts me. I can’t function properly on a daily basis because he never answers his phone I always feel the need to be with him. I have panic attacks when I can’t get a hold of him or when I’m about to see him because of the fear that I’m going to be waiting for a long time. Because this happens so often I started having anxiety about having anxiety. I feel out of control most of the time. I also know how much he loves me just as it sounds your bf loves you and I want to work on my personal issues and be confident and secure enough so I can be happy with him. I also have abandonment issues like yourself. I always feel like something bad happened and I will never see him again when I can’t reach him.
